Evangeli- | | i DUCK SHOOTING 18 FASHIONABLE. —If | | any one imagines that President Cleveland ! has a corner on duck shooting in the Unit- ed States hie is i very badly mistaken per- son, as the following amusing little tale will prove Several dss ago superintendent ) Kelley, of the casting department of the | Valentine iron company’s big plant at this | “place, was standing along the bank of the | clear spring water that flows by his house near the works. As the smoke curled heavenward from the over-worked pipe that stuck out under a fierce gray mus- tache, he rubbed up and down on the bar- rel of a rusty old rifle that he was polish- ing. The rubbing was not carried on with such energy that the metal got hot, for while fat men are by no means prover- bially lazy Mr. Kelley isn’t one of the kind who generates much friction by the rapid- ity of his movements. There was a sort of preoccupied expression on the countenance of the grizzled iron master, as he watched a few ducks bob up and down on the placid water of the dam. He might have been thinking that there is no better iron on earth than “Nittany ;’’ he might have been revolving in his mind the sermon he had heard at church the previous Sunday ; in fact he might have been day dreaming of a possible restoration of the royal family of France and his own consequent elevation in the ranks of the nobility. Whatever were his thoughts they were interrupted by the approach of two no less personages than superintendent H. C. Valentine, of the extensive ore operations of the Valen- tine ore land association, and poet laure- ate to Bellefonte’s town council, and Mor- timer O'Donoghue, that No. 90 fine, French gentleman who threw down his tricolor on the green fields of county Claire, some years ago, to become superintendent of the Valentine iron company. With the suavity of manner begotten of French ancestry Mr. Kelley greeted his friends. He looked at them, then at the ducks and finally began rubbing his gun again. It was his fellow Frenchman who suggested the idea of trying a shot, but as Mr. Valentine has traveled on his marks- manship for years he was handed the gun first. Mr. Kelley told him that he had often thought of presenting him with a duck, so now was his opportunity to take it for himself. ducks were Kelley's and with all the sporting blood in him tingling he peppered the head swimmer in such a way that after the smoke had lifted there seemed to be nothing in the water but a bunch of blood flecked white feathers. Anxious to know just where he had hit it he and his companion set about to get it from the water. While thus engaged Mr. Kelley moved off to the furnace, where he knew (?) he, was needed, and when be- hind his house he struck straight for the home of Mrs. Muchfussky, a pyrotech- nically inclined Hungarian woman, the real owner of the ducks. Of course it wasn’t a desire to get his friends into trouble that prompted Mr. Kelley to tell her what had happened. Ohno! It was his great love for justice and humanity. However he did the telling and she did the rest. Imagine the surprise of the sports when they found themselves confronted by the irate owner of their quarry. Why the wildest descriptions of Mr. Bryan’s talking apparatus isn’t a circumstance to the flood of jaw breaking words she let go at those men. A compromise was the only way out of the trouble so she was offered the price of her duck, but, with a significant stamp of a Hungarian shoe and a con- temptuous glance at the sum they held towards her, she pointed to the curl in her dead drake’s tail and said : ‘“Thata isa the ona ona I hada !”’ The gun is cleaned now, Mr. Kelley's face is just as serene as it was when he smoked that night ; his French friend is supporting { Bryan in the hope that inunigration will he walks with the restricted soon and Mr, Valentine still sine Jittle spring that in- dividualized his gait when, asa boy, he sang a nursery rhyme that ran something like thix : liye *po Foor BALL AT STATE COLLEGE. — To- morrow afternoon, at 3 o'clock, the foot | ball season at The Pennsylvania State Col- lege, will be. opened. The Pennsylvania College boys, fromt Gettysburg, will line up against State and, while it is expected that the latter will win, the game will be interesting. Chiefly because it will give | an opportunity of judging what strength the blue and white will develop on the grid-iron this fall. With such men as captain McCaskey, McKibben, Walker, Scott, Thomas, Brown and J. G. Dunsmore gone the team, this season, must necessarily be nearly new. However there is another good Dunsmore left, who will direct Curtin, Beers, Joe Thompson, Sellers and several others of the old players, while the new material | is being trained. ® “General” Hoskins is gone. That is a great loss, of course, but a new trainer, Dr. Newton, U. of P. '93, Med., Philadel- | phia, is on the ground and the men seem to have confidence that he will prove a valuable coach. Whatever the result of | Saturday’s game great things will not be | surprising from State, as it has invariably been the case that when prospects were darkest for her results were best. *9%0 { THE LANDLORD IN HARD Luck.—John M.

EE The daily hotel Reporter, published at Washington, D. C., shows a remarkably long list of arrivals at the Metropolitan, of which Col. W. R. Teller, formerly of the Bush house, in this place, is now manager. It is not a matter of surprise that so many people should be going to Col. Teller’s hotel, for he is one of the most wholesouled men in the land and is an ideal, so far as a host is concerned. When candidate W. J. Bryan was in Washington he stopped at the Metropolitan. Judging from the length of the menu Col. Teller had served in hon- or of his distingnished guest, he is more of a boltocrat than ever and hoped to kill our eandidate by stuffing him to death. ge ——The condition of Miss Goodman, who was taken so suddenly ill at the home of Mr. John Meese, several weeks ago, is still critical. Miss Goodman, who is from Col- umbiza, came up to Mr. Conley’s at Centre Hall, about July 6th, to recuperate from a severe spell of typhoid fever. Two weeks ago, last Saturday, she came over to spend | the day with Mis. Will Conley, Mr. Meese’s daughter, and after enjoying a hearty din- ner became so sick that Dr. Locke was summoned at once. She suffered so in- tensely that an operation was decided upon as the only means of saving her life. Dr. Carl Visher came up from Philadelphia and assisted by Drs. Locke and Kirk, perform- ed an operation for hernia. The operation was successful but her condition is far from satisfactory to her friends. Mr. Meese’s hospitable home has been much like a hos- | pital this season except that the doctors in attendance were of all the different schools. Mr. David Herscheimer, of Devon, who was there five weeks for his health, has just gone home greatly improved. Mrs. Meese has been sick much of the summer and now there are two white capped nurses in at- tendance on Miss Goodman. le ACCIDENTALLY KILLED HIMSELF.—J, Murphy Small, of Harrisburg, accidently killed himself at the home of his father, Mr. Charles H. Small, in that city, on Tuesday morning. He had risen shortly hefore and was ready to go down He was partly dressed, and it is supposed that he stopped to exam- ine a revolver that was in his room. Sy {some means the revolver was accidently | discharged, the ball striking him in the | left side of the head, killing him instantly. Mr. Small was 25 just about ready to he admitted to the prac- | tice of law in Dauphin county. The unfortunate young man was very | well known at State College, as he was a member of the class of '93 at that institu- | tion and was, no doubt, the mest popular man there during his college course. He lost his arm by the accidental discharge of 7 o'clock, getting stairs. gun while hunting. the late Mes.

That Bellefonte should be the scene of the awful practices that were accredited to her, under oath, is a matter that should arrest the attention of every honorable citizen and command a united effort to stamp out such infamy. Henry Hollobaugh was arraigned before Justice Keichline. He had heen in jail since last Friday night when he was taken into custody by officer Gares. He isa brother of the present Mrs. Joshua Foulk and makes his home with her. He is about forty-five years old, has a brown mustache and has a rather peculiar expression, made by large bones and a nose that appears to flatten down to his face having little prom- inence between the eyes. Accordingto the testimony of several witnesses this man has been trafficking in the virtue of thirteen- year-old Hattie Adele Foulk, a very pretty little girl, who sat beside her mother dur- ing the hearing and never once raised her eyes as the awfulness of the degradation to which she had been subjected came to light. The testimony offered by the dis- | trict attorney disclosed the brufish work of the defendant in having taken the little girl out at night, and made shocking pro- posals to young men and boys regarding her. Hollobaugh denied the charges in a straightforward story and was upheld by the girl’s mother, but the justice remanded him to jail, in default of $1,000 bail, for his appearance at court. If the charges preferred against him are true then no punishment that could be meted out is severe enough reparation for such an offense. lees A Goop ONE ON MR. BUCK.—At the time the holto-crats held their convention in Philadelphia Mr. S. M. Buck, of this place, sat as one of the single standard thinkers from Centre. “His prominence being recognized by the Philadelphia Press that paper wired its correspondent here for a picture of our advocate of the yellow metal. Now if there is one thing Mr. Buck has an aversion to it is notoriety and he would sooner have lost his cause than have had his picture in a newspaper. It appeared, however, in the following Sun- day's-edition. But when the papers ar- rived in Bellefonte there was nothing by which our Mr. Buck could have been recog- nized except the name that was printed | under the picture. The sequel came out, the other day, when he received a photograph from the Press office. It is the custom of the paper | to return such photos and it was a matter | of great surprise to Mr. Buck when he received it, with his own name and address written across the back. The young Reporter here, not to be out- done by Mr. Buck’s aversion to notoriety, had secured a picture of a graduate of The Pennsylvania State College, class of ’96, and palmed it off for the Centre county delegate and that is why a picture of C. H. Kuhn, of Altoona, appeared above the name of 8. M. Buck, in the Press, recently. de i ly DR. COLFELT TO PREACH AT STATE CoLLEGE.—It will be a matter of much delight for the people of this vicinity to learn that Dr Lawerence M. Colfelt, of Bedford, past pastor of the Oxford Presby- terian church, Philadelphia, and one of the most eminent divines inthe country, is go- ing to preach regularly at State College. Ever since his resignation of his Phila- delphia charge, because of his unorthodox views on church creed, he has lived at Bedford, occasionally going abroad to fill an engagement of one sort or another. Of late he has been frequently called to State College to preach to the students of that institution. it had been customary there to call dif- ferent ministers every Sunday. Those from Bellefonte and the circuits about the ' College being there alternately. But of late the institution has come to need a minister of its ow and as Dr. Colfelt was without a charge he has consented to preach in the chapel there every Sunday during the next three months of the fall term. He will not locate at State College, but will fill the appointment there. In this way it might happen that Bellefonte will get to hear a great deal of him, as his Sun- day nights will nop he taken up. RAIN SPOILED THE 'E BALL GAME. —After the Central rail-road people had gone to the trouble of arranging a championship ball game, between the Demorest club, of Williamsport, and the Sunbury club, for Hecla, last Tuesday, a heavy rain spoiled everything. ‘A close game had been looked for as the teams are playing off a series in the river league championship contest and both were on their mettle. The bicycle races in the morning be- tween Bud Moore, of Williamsport, and Harry Miller, of this place, were not very interesting, since Moore refused to ride a | mile straight and would race only on con- dition that it be done in heats of 3 mile cach. a full mile race, hut that ruled Moore won both events. mt ———The 12th annual convention of the Centre county W.

Lupold, ever since he gained his liberty, has been seen at different times. Yesterday morning while the family of Newton Bow- ers, of near Loganton, were attending a funeral, Lupold broke into the house .and stole a double-barreled shot gun, a pair of shoes, a shot pouch, a shirt and other arti- cles. After the theft was discov ered, con- stable Fetterhoff, Newton and John Bow- ers and other men started in pursuit of the thief. He was traced up the moun- tain and this morning about 6 o’clock he was run into the bushes. John Bowers rushed toward the fugitive, whereupon Lu- pold up with his gun and threatened to shoot. Bowers, undaunted, succeeded in reaching his man before he could pull the trigger and grabbed him by the collar. The other men then closed in on Lupold and placed him under est. He was brought to the city and pMced in jail. Lupold says that he effected his escape from the jail by going through the pantry while the turn-key’s attention was attracted to something else. age, ALMOST KILLED. — Leo Stevens, the eeronaut, ‘Prince Leo,” who made a num- ber of ascensions from Hecla park during the picnic season down there, was probably fatally injured at Monfreal, Canada, a few days ago. While making an ascent he fell from a great height and is now lying in a hospital in that city. In Sunday’s New York Journal he gives a graphic account of the fall he had here at the Park the time his balloon collapsed. In writing of it the story is highly colored and the distance he fell is stretched from 100£t to 4000ft, but, withal, it is so interest- ing from an exaggeration point of view that we will publish it next week.
